No, that only means that they believe this will improve pilot's situational awareness. You don't need that feature to override uncommanded trim.
Until the FAA says the aircraft is unsafe, your opinion of these airlines is misplaced. They went beyond what's legally required and added an additional safety feature.
Southwest exclusively flies 737s. They have one of the largest pilot corps for that type. The airline has good safety and maintenance records.
- dahdum 8y agoWhile I understand your point and appreciate your knowledge of the situation, I’m left with the idea that while the rest of the world is grounding these planes until more is known Southwest is flying them anyway. The only motive I can see for them to do so is money. What’s the non-monetary harm in grounding until more is known? They are a small percentage of their fleet.
